. $'l1'L~'Led catalyst and use of sx~e The inven~ion co~rnc a ~nppo~ted catalyst and use of sa~e.

The development o~ new supported catalyst ~on~ n~ sulphonic a~id y~ ~u~s on a polymer frame, is of great impor~ance for a numker of in~u~LLial ch~mical pro~esses, for example the p~oduction of certain ethers from the reaction of c~ or c~
fractions of the refine~y technology with met~hAnnl or e~h~n~l as admix co~ponents for the production o~ f~el (~f. ~y~vcarbon Processing, Nove~ber l990, pp.12~, 128).

To produ~e i~ved, par~icularly more environme~ally f~iendly an~ no~k pet~ol qu~lities, me~hyl tertia~y butylene ether (NTBE) and tertiary amyl ~e~hyl ether (TAME) or tertiary butylene ethylether (ETBE) are particularly i~poLk~lL a~m;Y
componen~s.

The procrcc~s to p~oduce these components a~e generally car~ied o~t as ~eaction distilla~ion processes or processes to t~ea~
and/or re~ct t~e ~ G~ S ~y cataly~ic distillation.

In case o~ catalytic distillation the reaction and ~he processing of the reaction mixture by distill~ion andfo~
rectific~tion, ~hich ~ y tak~s place in a following step of the process, are ca~ried ~u~ in one single rea~ion appa~atus only, which also incl~des the processing part.

In this c~ction ~he illLL~uc~ion ~nd affixing of ~e catalys~ in the reaF~ion apparat~s represe~ a special problem. Usually in ~he ~ase o~ solid or supported catalysts a fil~ing o~ the catalys~ into one or several superposed solid keds, ~er~A=ted by the re~ction ~ixtu~e, is provided.

When the ~acro-porous cross-linkeq polystyrene sulphoni~ acid, used in the industrial proauct70n of the MTBE or TA~E, is used in spherical form as loose filling m a s017d bed as cat~lyst in the reaction of meth~nol and buty~ene, disadv~n~ages like 214~6~ 6 S~B~ ul~ PAGE

h;gher resista~ce to flow, edge flow as well as fhe wear of ~he catalyst are invol~ed.

To a~oid ~hese disadvantages in a process to ca ~ ou~ c~emica~
reactions in a ~eaction-distillation appa~atus ~t has been ~ro~osed to ~cco~odate the ca~alyst consisfing of macro-porous cross-linked gel p4llets of a polys~y~le sulphonic acid Ln closed pouc~es, which ~e constru~ted from and retained by a wi~e netting and are assigned to a solid ked made to suit ~he ~eac~ion apparatus ~y coilin~ in t~e form of a spiral, c~.
EP-A-O 4~6 954.

It has been further p~u~osed ~or the p~rpose of i p~oving the ma~erial ~ch~n~e ~ro~e~ ~ies of the solid bed catalyst p~r,~;~g ~o cons~ruct t~e catalyst in the shape of e~ n~e bodies like R~schig rings, fo~ which purpose a mixture of cross-l;nk~A
~ty~,e divinyl ben2ene eop~lymer in y~o~l~ form is coex~ruded with the thermoplastic poly~ro~ylene to such an PYch~nge s~ape and is s41phonated a~terwards, cf. FR-A-2 297 083.
~0 This co~pt has been fu~ther developed inasmuch the formed bodies were ~Lodu~ed direc~ly from macro-porous ion ~oh~n~e resins without the ~se of a the~moplastic ~aterial, ~f. DE-A-3 930 515. ~he formed bodies ob~ine~ by this me~hod ha~e ~he expected g~od ~aterial ~Yc~ge prope~ties as well as a good catalytic activity. It is, howe~er, not easy to-~anufacbure these in pro~t;~n quantities and t~ey leave a lo~ to be desired ~ega~ding ~heir nech~n;cal ~LLengLh.

33 From US 4 ~50 052 supported ~a~alyst~ are known 7n ~he form of a pac~ing, whic~ can be coated with a poly~er made of vin~l aromati~ mononers and can be su~seguently sulphonated. For this ~ul~se the poly~er is dissolved, applied to the s~pport an~
~he solvent is ~hen ~emoved again. A ~is2d~antage of this process and/or of the catalyst prP~09~ in ~his ~anner is that the polymers men~ioned cannot be stron~ly c~oss-lin~e~ as otherwise they could no~ be ~iscQl~e~. The result o~ ~his is that ~hey can be corroded, separated or dissolved by the 21~5fi~i~

reacticn ~ixture also. ~n addition, in the r~nne~ ~entioned, no macro-po~osity for t~e poly~er can be achieved.

The ob~ec~ of the in~en~on is to produce a ~ uL~ed catalyst $ with ~ater7al ~Y~-hRnge p~operties which can be also ~Lo~ ce~ in prod~ion qu2ntities.

Th~s ob~ective is ac~ieved by suppo-ted catalysts accord;ng to the cl~im~ 1 to 14 as well ~s ~y a process to carry ou~
c~emical reactions by using these supported ~atalysts according to claLms 15 to 24.

The ~u~o~ed c~talysts according to t~e invention in t~e form of p~ckin~ are cohstructed from a basic body ~o~C~ting of open poro~s ~u~o~L ma~erial, on the external and intern~l sur~ace of which a macro-porous ion e~-h~n~e resin is affixed me~han~cally and/or chemically.

A che~ical affixing ma~ be preferred and is obt~ined, ~or example ~y sil~ ing the surface o~ the open-po~ous ~u~o~
~atexial with su~sequent polymerisation ~uild-up.

The packing of the supporte~ ~atalyst is constructed as R~ ;g rings, Berl s~adles, ~orus saddles, packing rings W7t~ web o~
cross web, Pall rings, o~her hollow bod~es, hollow sphe~es, ordered packages, ho~eycom~ bodies and the like~with a proportion o~ the hollow space o~ ~he ma~ro ~OL~uS ~on e~ n~e resin ~eLng 5 to g5 ~.

The SUp~vr L material o~ the aforementioned ~p~uLLed ~atalys~
consists of open-pore glass, sinte~ed gl~ss, open-pore ceramic material on al~minium silioate ~ase, sintered glass ceramics, foam ~eramics, ac~iva ed c~rh~n or activa~ed coke.

In the case of sintered glass o~ sintered glass cerami~s ~he surface area can be increased by a prio~ treatme~t with aqueous alk~i hyd~uxide solution. By this the nllmh~r of silanol groups on the surface will ke incre~sed o~ the one hand, wh~h surface 21~366~

is ~hen accessi~le for ~ n;s~tion and by ~he etching process a rougher surface is cre~ed on the othe~, thereby favouring a me~h~n;cal af f i~; ng on the polymer applied.

While glass with open pores, sintered glass, sintered glass ics or cera~ic ~terial with open pores are c~mr~rcial~y a~ e al~eady ~n a basic or p~ckin~ form suit241e for material e~ch~nge ~uuposes, activ~ed c~r~on or ac~ivated coke . with suitable pore sizes can be use~ according to the in~en~ion 1~ for cat~lyst beds. Suitable po~e sizes are obtained f~om bulk material a~ter a selection process ~rom sui~able sieved - material in selected size ranges~

T~e macro-poro~s ion ~Y~ nge resin on and in the ~u~o~
~aterial is preferably a macro-porous cross-linked poly~yre~.e sulp~onic acid, where~y a diferen~ degree o~ cro~s-l;nk;ng can be accomplished to correspond wit~ the requLrements by using greater or lesser a~ounts of di~nyl be~zene or diisopropenyl benzene. ~he polymer is preferably cross-linked to such a high degree, ~hat it cannot be disso~ed by ~he rea~tion mixture of the reaction to be c~taly~ed.

The ion ~Y~h~nge ~esin can be appl~ed to the suppart material by two different proc~s~.

~n case of ~he so called i~prey~.ating polyme~isIng ~ ess the for~ed ho~7es are i~ yrlated with the rea~tion mixture, the ~ s~ imp~egna~ing solution is removed ~nd subsequently ~he poly~erisation is carried out.

In ~ase of ~he precipitating poly~erising proce~s the pa~ing is in ~ in the reaction mixture during the polyme~isation.
The ad~antages of the pre~ipitation polymerising process are a very uniform dis~ribution o~ the polymer Ln the pores of the support ~aterial, in ~ddi~70n a high porosity, since the sol~ent can act ~s a pore former, as ~ell as the sLmple pxoduction man~er, since no steps are required to even out ~he distribution of ~he mono~ers on the support.

An addi~ion~l ad~antage is that the polymRr content in the comple~ed ion e~h~ resin can be set simply by ~he ratio of a suitable solven~ to ~he nono~er mixture and that ~he polymer, when using the appLu~.ia~e solven~, is already in the swollen form so that po~ dam2ge of the ~ L ma~erial by the sw~ g process can be avoided to ~ great exten~. Ne~h~nol or ~-oct~ne, as ~ell as pent~de~Ane may ~e used as solvents. A
C~- to ~l7-n-paraf~in fraction can also be used.

i~ By the pro~ess ~entioned ~ ma~r O POL~US poly~er is pro~r~e~ in t~e pores and on the surface of porous p~cking, which will su~sequen~ly receive ion ~c~nge properties by su~phonation.

In case of the precipi~ating polymerisation process the poly~erisation is carried out depending on the ~o~n~aLion of ~he original materials sLy~.e and divinyl benzene or disopropyl benzene in the pore former or o~ ~he sol~ent in the pores of the packing up to ~hat degree of polymerisation, ~t which the formed poly~er in fla~y form beco~ insoluble in the pore for~er and/or the solvent and precipitates. The polymer fl~kes produced in this manner in ~e pores of the ~up~uLL
m~ter~al can be affixed in the pores of the suppo~t material purely ~h~n;C~lly and zre pro~ected from mechanical damages by the surrolm~in~ ~u~o~ mat~ri~l.
For cert~in rea¢tions it is useful to ~reat supported catalysts of ~he type described abo~e with G~oup7 or Group 8 metals of the periodic ta~le, particula~ly with p~ ium, platinum, ruthenium or rhodium ~n q~antities of 0.1 ~o 100 g/~g of ~he ion e~ nge res~n.

As has alrea~y ~een ;nfli~ted, ~he polymer can be addit~onally a~fixed che~ically on the $Upport material. A suitab~e ~hemical coupler is used ~o~ this purpose. ~or example sil2nes are sui~a~le co~plers for all formed hodies whi~h have OH gL~uys on their sur~a~es.

If ~he polymer to be coupled has a Yinyl~c monomer base, ~inyl-group ~ ~ ing s;l~nes are prefer~ed as couplers, par~;Y
phenyl-7Jinyl diethoxysilane, phenyl-methyl vinyl silane, ~riethoxy-~inyl ~ nP or trichlor-~inyl silane.
~he supporte~ catalyst can be pro~eA by impregnating the pa~king with 0.1 to ~0% by weight with a mixture cnn~is~ing of 10 to 80, preferab7.y 30 to 70% by weight o~ S~yl~-e, ~ to 25, preferably 5 to 10~ by ~eight of di~inyl h~n~sne~ 1 to 8~, prefera~ly 20 to S0~ ~y weight of a pore forme~ or of a sol~en~
as wel~ as an effective quantity of a polymerisation in7tiator.
carryi~g out the polymerisation reaction under a te~peratuXe _ncre2se of 30- to 90~; and subsequently tre2ting ~he polymer material affixed in the pores of the pack~ng with a sulphonating 2cid. In this case the proportion ~y weight of t~e pore former or of ~he solvent is selected so that the proportion by weight of the ~ixture of ~y~-ene and di~inyl benzene adds up to 100~ by weigh~.

A supported ~talys~ pro~tlce~ according ~o ~he precipi~ating polymerisation process can be obt~;n~ by adding a mixture of 10 to 80, pre~erably 20 t~ 50% by ~eight o~ s~yrene, 2 to 2~, p~eferably ~ to 10~ ~y weight of di~i~yl behzene, 1 t~ 88, preferably 20 to 50% ~y weig~ of a pore former or solvent as well ~s 2n ef~ective quantity of a polyme~isati~n ini~iator on the one hand and a ~- to ~l7-n-par~ffin fraction on the other in a weight ra~io of 10 to 1 to 1 to 10, to 5 to 50~ by wei~h~
of the suppo~t material, b~sed on the total mixture~

In th~s manner a solid phase, con~isting pre~erably Of 5 m~L.,.~.h~es, is formed in ~e hollow spaces of ~e ~u~o~ and on the support material, and the volume ori~inal~y o~ r;ed by the sol~ent for t~e mono~ers remalns as ~acro-pores after the remo~al of ~he solvent, which pass th~ough the entire cross-linked polysty~ene and thus enable a good ~ of the reacting ~aterials fo~ the intpn~ chemical reactions after sulp~ona~ion. At the same ti~ne arl increase of ~he active sur~ac:e can ~e achieved by this.

Thi~ is why in a pre~e~red ~ho~;~ent the pore ~ormers can ke also solvents for the m~nomer mixture in case o~ the pre~ipitation polymerisation. ~n case of the precipitation polymerisation lower ~lkAnol$ like methanol are also suita~le as sol~ent.

~he ~or~ed ca~lysts accord~ng to the in~ent70n are generally use~ to car~y out ~he chemi~al reactions o~
et~erification, esteri~ication, ~y~ogenation~ a~kylisation, hydration, dimerisation, oligomerisation or com~nation of these as well as the ~ e~ive ~e~e reactions.

In this case the countaL ~ L of the gaseous or ~iguid phase is suitable for a single or multiple phase gaseous and liquid reac ion, since the ~u~o~ed catalysts a~cording to the invention have a ~igh deg~ee of spacing and thus ca~se a low pressure loss.

A ~referred chemical reac~ion for using the su~ Led ~talys~
